Error

The fix flag is a feature inherited from ESlint, so if they have parsing errors on minified jquery then I imagine this would be an issue to bring upstream to that project.

The --fix flag tends to be a less aggressive formatter, only focusing on linting error found given the ruleset that are enabled. See http://eslint.org/docs/rules/ for a list of rules that have a fix method implemented.

The fix flag works great when writing code day to day IME and allows me the flexibility to format my code the way I like, within the rules of standard, while saving me time by fixing minor formatting issues.

For a more opinionated/generalized format (that can survive a torture test like jquery minified) there is https://github.com/prettier/prettier which is also a quality project, but also ads a bit more to your tooling costs. There is a https://github.com/sheerun/prettier-standard but I've not had a chance to test it out.

Closing for now, but we can reopen if there are issues identified with standard itself.
